Drabbles

A drabble is a short work of fiction of around one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the title. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space. -- Wikipedia The definition from Wikipedia is pretty much to normal rule, 100 words not including the title, no more no less. They are a fun writing challenge. Now why am I mentioning this writing form? Well, I have drabbles coming soon in two different collections, in one collection my son Henry also has one. Details will be revealed soon.
